Chad Johnson had some words of advice for Shannon Sharpe after his podcast co-host suffered explicit humiliation on Instagram Live on Wednesday.
The 56-year-old man accidentally broadcast a live audio of himself engaging in sexual activity with an unknown woman to his 3.2 million followers on the social media platform.
The former NFL tight end later confessed that his account had not been hacked and that he was the one who had sex during the live video.
The confession came during an emergency episode of ‘Nightcap’, the podcast he shares with Johnson, when Sharpe admitted he was ’embarrassed’.
However, while the ESPN personality sounded remorseful for his actions in the bedroom, Johnson had advice for improving them.

Sharpe accidentally went live on his Instagram while having an intimate moment with a woman.
“What we need to work on is that there’s nothing wrong with your hips, but we need to work on your cardiovascular system because you were breathing hard,” the former wide receiver said.
“You shouldn’t breathe so hard. So we have to work on your cardio. When you lift weights, you have to do cardio. First the treadmill and then the stair machine.”
The video was posted to Instagram on Wednesday afternoon and while no faces were seen, a woman was heard moaning and appeared to say Shannon’s name.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer initially claimed that his account had been hacked and that his team was working “vigorously” to resolve it. However, he later confessed on “Nightcap” that the accidental video was a result of his lack of technological know-how.
“I threw my phone on the bed and went on to do something else,” Sharpe said. “I didn’t know about Instagram Live. I’d never turned on Instagram Live before, so I don’t know how it works, and all of a sudden my other phone started ringing.”
Johnson explained that a member of his team managed to end the live stream, while his marketing partner managed to alert him to the situation. Johnson said he had “73 missed calls” with people trying to reach him through the live sex stream, which had thousands of users tuning in.

“Obviously, I’m embarrassed. Someone who is extremely, extremely private and one of their most intimate details, the audio, is being heard by the whole world, I’m embarrassed for a number of reasons,” Sharpe said.
‘There are a lot of people who count on Shannon to be professional at all times and I always try to be professional, even when I’m behind closed doors… I’m very disappointed in myself, not because of the act. I think there are millions and billions of people of consenting age who participate in activities, but from what you hear on the tape, I’m disappointed in myself. I’ve let a lot of people down.’
Sharpe said that whenever she has intimate moments in the future, she will leave her phone in the car.
The former Denver Bronco also mentioned his interest in returning to a flip phone.
